WIS, WWA | meet a VIP
I didn't do a great job of photographing my meals this week, but here is a VIP employee at my hospital for your enjoyment:
His job is to cheer patients up, and his skills are pretty elite. 😉
What I Spent
I spent:
- $64 at Aldi
- $12 at Safeway
- $30 on a Hungry Harvest box
So, $106.
What We Ate
Saturday
I had a work shift, and I just ate raisin bran when I came home.
I did have chickpea salad and shrimp for lunch though:
Sunday
I used a Panera gift card for a free no-cooking meal, and that's how we got the Panera bag that Chiquita was in. 😉
Monday
Zoe wasn't hungry, so I just baked a refrigerated Aldi pizza, which I would rate as...meh.
Tuesday
I made a big batch of burrito bowl fixings so that I could have leftovers for work.
I did not snag a picture of the dinner, but here's a burrito bowl lunch.
Wednesday
I worked; overnight oats for breakfast, a burrito bowl for lunch, and a bowl of cereal before bed.
Thursday
I worked, sooo...overnight carrot cake oats for breakfast, a burrito bowl for lunch, and a bowl of yogurt and fruit when I got home.
Friday
I'm working again today, so my breakfast and lunch are exact repeats of the last two days. And I really do not know what I'm eating tonight, but it probably will be minimal! I will likely eat my lunch burrito bowl so late that I will not be terribly hungry when I get home.
Happy Friday, everyone! We spent $196 ($123 at Trader Joe's and $73 at Target). Higher than normal due to buying more frozen convenience foods at Trader Joe's.
- Salad (spinach, quinoa, radishes, sunflower seeds, homemade vinaigrette)
- Veggie garden casserole
- Egg and cheese sandwich, cucumber slices dipped in Kristen's cilantro lime sauce
- Afternoon tea hosted by friends (tea, little sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, cookies)
- Vegetable chow mein
- Salad (spinach, hard-boiled egg, raisins, walnuts, homemade vinaigrette)
- Trader Joe's mac 'n' cheese, broccoli
Good morning!
Saturday: Went a birthday party so ate heavy appetizers there. That's how the menu was described on the invitation. It was actually quite the variety.
Sunday: I made meatloaf and roasted broccoli. Hubby added mashed potatoes for his dinner. I don't eat mashed potatoes. I eat pierogis that have mashed potato filling. It's a childhood thing. Not my jam.
Monday: Skirt steak fajitas.
Tuesday: Skirt steak fajitas.
Wednesday: Son made smashburgers. Ate waaaaaay too many potato chips, not mashed potatoes ;), before the burgers were ready.
Thursday: A repeat of Wednesday. Exactly. 😉
Friday: I have a bag of frozen shrimp that I'm gonna cook. Broccoli. Not sure what else. Son's friend is probably coming over for a birthday dinner, it's the friend's birthday this weekend, so I want to make it special.
Happy Friday!
